Looks good. A few questions:

- what happens when an address suddenly fails and is no longer reachable?

- what happens if TCP tries to set up a connection but the address it
  chooses doesn't respond (and there is another address that works
  available)?

- would it be possible to offload homeless mobile ipv6 processing on some
  kind of "mobile proxy" so hosts that do not support the protocol can use
  it anyway?
